beautifully done. I just bought a home in Albuquerque New Mexico. we close tomorrow morning. the home is 275k and the backyard is already very nice but we want to build something like this back there. Nice to see the materials only ran 700 bucks. my labor costs will be low because I have a brother in law that builds everything. construction for 17 years.
I know this video is somewhat old, but I have a question/comment. The posts are redwood, and they are in the ground, they will come in contact with water at the base over time. Will they eventually rot? I ask because I have some 4x6 cedar posts that are mounted directly on concrete(the builder built it this way), and they are rotting. I'm going to replace them with cedar again, but mount them on a plate designed to keep them from sitting in water when it rains/snows. I'm planning on building a paver patio with a pergola similar to what you built. I want the wood to match whats already on the house, but alas, I don't want the post to rot out at the bases like my others did. So to get to the point, will redwood last longer than cedar? I can stain the wood to match if I need to.
Redwood will definitely last longer especially if you stain it. The posts cemented in the ground will eventually rot but the paver surface is tilted away from the house so the is no standing water. it should last 15 years at least.
@@louisfuqua1531 Thanks for your prompt reply. Your answer is exactly what I needed to know. BTW, I'll be lucky if my project turns out half as nice as yours.
+Josh Morrison Thanks for the question. All lumber is redwood and stained. The posts are 4x4's with 2x6's on two sides. Main beams are double 2x12's, double 2x6's for joists, and 2x2's on top. Overall its about 12' x 22' between corner posts.
I used a software called Punch Landscape. It's not the best but it got it done. The posts are 14' apart at the longest. That distance is spanned with double 2" x 12"'s.
@@louisfuqua1531 did you use 4x4 or 6x6 for the posts? what did you use for the rafters and what is the distance between the beams (two sides). What are the dimensions of the post base? Sorry for the questions but trying to design and build a covered patio covering about 21x27
Eric Fowler depending on size you just need the needed amount of lumber and the tools. I could see one building a nice one from scratch for less than 500 bucks for just lumber and fastening materials.

Great job, I like the freestanding design which allowed you to go higher than the house eaves.

Very nice! It really made the backyard more personable, inviting and intimate. Definitely a visual improvement though the before wasn't bad, either.
I watched your video and was able to build my own pergola. Thank you!
Great Micki... enjoy!!
Wow, looks great!
AND! you just showed me what I will build as well!
that looks great
We estimated ours will be 16 x20 ft and all materials will cost just under $ 700.00
Phyliss Shaw are u a contractor? If you are may I know your location? I am looking for someone to do the patio with cheap cost
$ 700 ?????
Can you link which lights you used? Are they wired?
Love it
I wandering if it's a natural stone or just casted concrete pavers? Love the style, good job.

@@edshepherd3256 Check this video out, the post brackets are at Home Depot. th-cam.com/video/W50BPUmk_eI/w-d-xo.html
Nice how much is it cost do the pergola
Where to buy the matterrial and wood?
Looks good, could you elaborate on type of material and size. Did you just stain regular treated lumber. Looks like 4X4's,2X12's,2X6's

Hi, what software did you use for the design sketch, SketchUp? What is the longest distance between your posts?
I used a software called Punch Landscape. It's not the best but it got it done. The posts are 14' apart at the longest. That distance is spanned with double 2" x 12"'s.

I would like to get estimate on the stone floor. Are you in California?
The company I used was Samurai Pavers Systems base out of the San Francisco east bay near Livermore CA. They did a excellent job.
What does a pergola do?
+Oli McIntosh Nothing.
shade, mostly.
Looks good
What did the entire project cost?
